New Mexico »

It’s been a decade since I’ve seen the area between Silver City and Deming look like this:

More on the way, but they’ll probably come after I return to D.C., because I’m spending so much time out and about (and eating — please, somebody stop me from eating).

Netroots Nation »

I’ve started adding photos to my Flickr stream - if you see me around and want your picture taken, let me know! I’ll keep uploading photos, and you can expect to see some posts about the conference over the next couple of hours. I ran into Matt from New Mexico FBIHOP, and I understand he’ll [...]

Assateague Island National Seashore - Day 3 »

This is the third in a three-part series on my Memorial Day 2008 camping trip to Assateague Island National Seashore. You can find Part 1 here and Part 2 here.

Sorry for the delay, but here are the photos from our third day at Assateague. The wind was pretty crazy on Monday, so I didn’t really [...]

Assateague Island National Seashore - Day 2 »

This is the second in a three-part series on my Memorial Day 2008 camping trip to Assateague Island National Seashore. You can find Part 1 here.

Assateague Island National Seashore - Day 1 »

Friday Flickr Foto Dump: Air Show Edition »

I attended the Joint Service Open House at Andrews Air Force Base this past weekend, my first show in at least a decade and possibly 15 years. My family used to love air shows: my mom would take us to the Amigo Air Show in El Paso pretty often, while my pops would take us [...]

From my latest Flickr batch: Afterburner »

This is also to test out Twitter Tools, to check how it integrates. Slowly but surely I’m trimming the number of applications and Web sites I have to visit to keep everything updated.

Friday Flickr Foto Dump »

So, it’s been a while since I did some photoblogging, and I thought I would go ahead and do a photodump of pictures taken in the past two weeks. You should click on the photos for larger versions and to read more about them, but here’s a basic rundown: the tulips in D.C. are amazing [...]

Creative Commons »

You know those things you mean to do but never seem to get around to finishing? Or even undertaking? Well, for me, one of those things was adopting Creative Commons for my Web site and photography.
A couple of weeks ago my employer sponsored a discussion led by Lawrence Lessig, who was unveiling his new project [...]

2008 Cherry Blossom Festival »

As a relative newcomer to D.C., one of the things I’d not seen was the cherry trees blossoming along the Tidal Basin. I made it down to the area twice this week to take some photos and take in the scene, and was simply amazed at the sheer number of blossoms and the beauty of [...]
